Chapter 291: Anyx’s Plans
In a world of green where vines covered in beautiful flowers hanged from the sky like drapes of a goddess.
Where the ground was covered in trees and flowers for as far as the eye could see, a woman could be seen watering a flower garden.
Suddenly a male figure appeared behind her. The woman stopped watering the fkowe garden and slowly turned her head.
Tears welled up in her eyes, the man raised his head and removed the hood covering his head.
Revealing a face with a bronze skin and long braided hair. The man was handsome beyond description.
But his eyes were terrifying swirls of pure darkness that seemed to devour the light around him.
Yet tenderness could be clearly seen on them as he looked at the woman. She took a step towards him and embraced him into a hug.
" I had missed you." He whispered softly, her shoulders shook in his embrace and her tears stained his dark cloak.
" I don’t understand, how? How are you here?" She asked, touching him all over his face to make sure he was real.
" I managed to free myself before time and I came back to find you, there is much that needs to be discussed."
" Speaking of, a Rendersol sought the soul of a child of our blood, tell me dear, do you know anything about that?" She asked.
" I do, as I said, there is much that needs to be discussed, I’ve discovered too many secrets.
For the sake of the mortal world, heaven and hell must fall."
------------------------------------------------
Anyx returned to the council and immediately called a meeting, the Organisation was also summoned.
The representatives of each showed up. " Anyx, I hope you didn’t call us here to waste out time."
A giant in black armour growled in a deep voice, a woman with long blue hair sitting next to him smiled.
" Forgive this brute Lady Anyx, he never thinks before opening his mouth." She apologised on behalf of the man.
He grumbled but said nothing else,Anyx was not offended, she knew the Belvord clan did not like the Fayara.
To be fair the feeling was mutual, " I called you here because I had an encounter with a Rendersol."
The room got so quiet you could practically hear a pin drop. " When was this?" A Dragonewt asked.
" Not long ago at the party those wolf kids were throwing." She answered him calmly.
" So you went after all? Well, thank you for warning us sister, we should take this information back to our people.
If a Rendersol has been released then no doubt the Axiom are not far from coming out, the seals will break soon."
Anyx closed her eyes and took a sip of tea and waited.
" There’s something I don’t understand, from what we know of the Rendersol, they are the weapons of the Axiom.
Had it been wraiths who had been sent I would’ve understood but the Rendersol? Only death follows those things, so why would it be there?"
She smiled, " Isn’t it obvious? The Axiom want to kill Adrian." The rest grew quiet, their faces twisted with confusion.
" That makes no sense, from the records of the ancient era, the Axiom are guardians of a celestial being.
A true God who was locked up since times immemorial, that boy is a key to opening the cage and freeing their god.
Do you truly believe they would kill the child and stand the risk of not opening the cage?" One of them asked.
" Or the knowledge we have is false. Maybe they’re not guarding their God, maybe they’re guarding the prison to prevent the said god from waking up.
Let me honest, we know nothing about the Axiom except the fact that there were four of them in the ancient era and five in the old era.
Any other records were erased and suddenly showed up around 12 thousand years ago in one of the fallen realms.
That sounds too coincidental for me." Her words made the other Demigods uncomfortable.
For old and powerful beings like them, being reminded they don’t know something was uncomfortable and bruising to their ego.
" Still, the records are clear, when the seals break calamity will follow and the world will continue to degrade.
From records, in the ancient era God’s were everywhere ruling the nine realms from every corner.
The ambient esper was thick to the brim and the nine realms were filled with natural treasures.
Yet the ancient era ended, Gods fell and seven of the nine realms fell with them unable to recover to this day.
Then came the old era, there were fewer gods and the esper was much thinner than the records of the ancient era claimed
Then the seals broke and the calamity came one more, you were all there, you all saw the dread that I saw when the last of the seals came lose.
When that thing touched the earth and silence followed, with a gaze that can render even us Demigods helpless as children.
Had it not been for that man shouldering the weight by himself, perhaps the old era would’ve been the end of everything.
And now in the current era, the ambient esper is so thin, it can’t even birth treasures strong enough to support the birth of a single god.
The pattern is the same but we have even less power to resist, we need another way or the world will end." An old man argued.
He was a vampire but not one of the two archdukes, he was actually older than the youngest archduke.
Having been the first vampire ever created by the first archduke. Anyx turned towards him.
" I’m glad you’ve awoken from your slumber lord Alark but tell me, if the seals are such a threat.
Then why now deal with them and prevent the calamity before it can fall, surely you can find a way to stop the last seal from breaking.
It has been done before, 12 thousand years, three of the seals never managed to touch the world, surely you all can’t fail what little Morgana did by herself?"
Anyx knew they couldn’t do, hell she couldn’t do it either but she also knew they won’t admit that.
" Why don’t you do it?" Alark asked expecting her to make excuses, Anyx’s sister signed.
She knew how thick skinned her little sister was. " I can’t do it, I admit, that girl is smarter and more talented than I am, I’m a proud aunt."
Her words caught them by surprise and now they didn’t know how to answer, " So are you all as incompetent as I am?" She asked.
